FIG. 6.
(A) Fraction of remaining iodine concentration after 300 s of passive transport (white bars) or deformation-induced transport (black bars). Data represent means ± SD for n = 5. *Significantly different compared to passive removal (p < 0.05). #Significantly different compared to 0.5-mm-diameter channel (p < 0.05). (B) Correlation between channel compression and remaining fraction of iodine after 300 s of compressions for the different channel shapes. Linear regression yielded a significant relationship (y = − 0.0131x +0.9735, R2 = 0.9803). Note that the 2.0 mm circular channel was excluded from the regression.
